Eric,
Thak you very much for your contribution! I am very excited to see the Uniprot project available in RDF/OWL format, along with your documentation. I think this opens the possibility of working with public bioinformatic data not only in traditional ways, but also through new knowledge discovery collaborations. I specifically look forwards to seeing examples of researchers making statements or hypotheses about protein functions and roles using your data, and being able semantically to tie them to pathway, transcriptomic, chemistry, and disease knowledge!

Subject: RFC: The UniProt database in RDF format
We are currently considering providing an RDF version of the UniProt
protein database. A preview is available at:
http://www.isb-sib.ch/~ejain/rdf/
Feedback is welcome, in particular:
* Do you see any problems with our approach?
* Could any of the data or tools be of use to you?
* Any issues that should be fixed or improved?
